Bantar Gebang
Bantar Gebang is administratively a kelurahan or village in Bekasi city, Indonesia, but it usually refers to the massive trash dump in the area. Between 6,000 and 20,000 people are estimated to live on the site.[1]
On 8 March 2026, heavy rainfall induced an avalanche of garbage that killed 7 people.[2]
